This is a delightful 1-minute play about human connection and the modern-day struggles therein. Also very adaptable in terms of location for theatres looking at creative ways to stage plays during social distancing.

Steven is such a skilled writer that you find yourself identifying with each character for different reasons, all while laughing. This play is a great tale about how some of the best lessons are learned young, and often forgotten as we age. Definitely a festival hit!

Sean is a gifted comedic writer and has such a great ear for dialogue, especially capturing the unique voices of characters. In this dark comedy, he successfully wrestles with what pet-parents actually want to say but wouldn't usually dare.

I watched a reading of this play and it was a hit. James is a writer who brilliantly crafts characters with distinct voices and in this satire he explores gender roles in unexpected and comedic ways.

I had the pleasure of watching a virtual reading of this play and it was wonderful. Past and present collide and affect the characters in unexpected ways throughout. The dialogue is so rich and the relationships are dynamic and complex.

This short play has a tremendous amount of depth and heart. It takes an under-explored aspect of love and shines a very compassionate light, offering a spark of hope in a situation where no one expects to find themselves.

I had the pleasure of watching a virtual reading of this play and was immediately struck by its great use of language and subtext to explore a college admissions interview. The playwright's sharp writing and keen observations turn this routine encounter into something momentous for both characters.

I had the joy of watching this amazing play online and I was captivated every minute. Such emotional truth and exceptional writing. It's a perfect fit for online or in-person theatre.
